DANELEC DM100 VDR G3
The DM100 VDR G3 is more than a voyage data recorder — it’s the foundation of a connected safety ecosystem.
Remote Diagnostics: Monitor the condition of your VDR and connected sensors from shore. Detect issues early, avoid unnecessary service calls, and prepare technicians before they board.
- Compliance Simplified: Access APT and OPT records anytime, initiate Remote OPT, and store all test certificates in one place. Safety Insights reduces the admin burden and ensures audit readiness.
- Smarter Service: With pre-arrival diagnostics, technicians arrive prepared, increasing first-time fix rates to over 90%. This means less downtime, lower service costs, and more predictable maintenance.
- Fleet-wide Visibility: Manage multiple vessels from a single dashboard. Spot trends, benchmark performance, and schedule interventions across the fleet.
Designed for Any Vessel, Any Mission
Every vessel has unique demands. From compact retrofits to complex cruise ship installations, the DM100 VDR G3 is engineered to fit them all.
Large passenger ships, offshore units, and naval platforms often require advanced setups. The G3 rises to the challenge with:
- Expanded audio channel support for multi-bridge environments
- Fiber-optic connectivity for high-speed, long-distance transmission
- Dual-bridge configurations to ensure full coverage on vessels with multiple navigation bridges
Future-proof flexibility
Whether installed on a container vessel, tanker, offshore support vessel, or cruise liner, the DM100 VDR G3 provides a robust, flexible platform that adapts to any operational profile.
Fast, Simple, and Cost-Effective VDR Upgrades
Upgrading and maintaining a Voyage Data Recorder doesn’t have to mean long delays or costly service hours. With Danelec’s Conversion Kits and SWAP Technology™, shipowners can modernize their systems quickly, keep vessels on schedule, and reduce the total cost of ownership.
Tailor-Made Conversion Kits
- Danelec’s conversion kits simplify the replacement of outdated VDRs from any brand.
- Save 1–2 working days per installation by reusing existing cable runs and mounting hardware.
- Minimize disruption with fast, standardized retrofits that get vessels back in service quickly.
SWAP Technology™
Servicing shipboard electronics is often time-consuming and expensive — especially when vessels are far from major ports. Danelec’s SWAP Technology™ eliminates these challenges by storing all system software, configuration, and programming data on a hot-swappable memory card.
- Complete onboard repairs in hours, not days
- Reduce man hours and service costs
- Protect all critical shipboard data
- Eliminate in-port delays and keep ships on schedule
Cybersecurity at the Core
The DM100 VDR G3 is among the first VDR platforms to receive DNV E27 cybersecurity type approval, meeting the industry’s strictest digital safety standards. End-to-end encryption, role-based access control, and tamper-resistant firmware updates ensure critical ship data always remains secure and compliant.
Intelligent & Modular Storage
Modern vessels generate more data than ever before. The DM100 VDR G3 scales with your needs through flexible NAS storage, supporting 30 to 120+ days of recordings. Designed for high-bandwidth inputs like S-100 ECDIS overlays, electronic logbooks, and 4K radar feeds, the system combines resilience with adaptability — ensuring no critical data is ever lost.
Seamless and Synchronized VDR Data and IP Video Recordings
The new VDR IP Video Interface is designed to provide an extra layer of data for accident investigations and training applications.
Danelec has developed a unique plug and play solution for the integration of on-board High-Definition IP Video with data collected and stored by its DM100 VDR. Called VDR IP Video Interface (IPVI), Danelec’s innovative new solution augments situational awareness for accident investigators and unlocks deeper operational insight for ship owners and operator management teams, as well as training organizations and instructors.
